A welcoming brick pathway leads to the stately four-sided brick residence, where timeless character is evident from the moment you arrive. Inside, a gracious living room anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins creates a warm yet refined gathering space.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms retain their original charm with built-in dressers and share a full bath. Additional upper-level spaces provide flexibility, including the potential to add another bathroom if desired.

Extensive updates completed in both 2017 and 2020 ensure peace of mind, including a new roof, updated gutters, modernized electrical and plumbing systems, and two new HVAC units. Professionally designed landscaping further enhances the home’s curb appeal, framing the property with classic Southern elegance.
